Coat of arms and official seal

On June 29, 1972, the then community of Marienroth received the approval to use the coat of arms and official seal described below by letter from the government of Upper Franconia (No. II / 4-4121 r 2/72). The design of the coat of arms comes from Karl Haas from Kronach.

The so-called George Cross refers to the patron saint of Marienroth, St. George . The flails symbolize the then purely agricultural character of the community .
